Coinbase Under Fire for Various Security Breach Incidents Prompting Class Action Lawsuits
In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency, Coinbase, a prominent digital asset exchange, is currently facing legal hurdles and public scrutiny following a recent crypto breach. The breach, widely criticized on social media, has added to Coinbase's existing legal troubles. The exchange faced similar lawsuits in 2023 over security lapses, highlighting the delicate balance between crypto innovation and user protection. The breach's timeline and affected users were confirmed in Coinbase's recent filing. However, the exchange has not directly commented on the lawsuits that surfaced in May 2025. Instead, Coinbase has pointed to a blog post outlining its response to the breach. Users have expressed dissatisfaction with Coinbase's response, particularly with the $20M bounty offered for information leading to the arrest of those responsible. Critics argue that this amount is insufficient given the potential reimbursement costs. The ongoing legal battle underscores the growing scrutiny of crypto exchanges, as they navigate the complexities of securing user funds while fostering innovation. Investor concerns over the financial and reputational fallout from the breach led to a dip of 3.2% in Coinbase's stock price in after-hours trading on May 27, 2025. For those seeking further information, an article titled 'Is Coinbase Safe & Trustworthy in 2025?' is available. However, details about who initiated the class action lawsuits against Coinbase related to the alleged disappearance of the platform's security measures remain unclear.
